Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of a mobile terminal and, in particular, to a method, apparatus and device for preventing false alarms.

BACKGROUND

[0002] As touch technology is rapidly evolving, mobile terminals with touch screens, such as mobile phones, tablet computers and the like, are widely used in everyday life. Users can control mobile terminals through their touch screens, which enriches and personalizes the methods of interaction.

[0003] Since the operations of mobile terminals can be accomplished through simple touch actions, there is a tendency for false positives to occur in mobile terminals that use touch technology. For example, a user can carry a mobile terminal with him and put it in his pocket, purse or the like. When the user is active, the power button of the mobile terminal can be accidentally hit, which lights up the touch screen of the mobile terminal and allows the mobile terminal to perceive the touch event, which can lead to unexpected false responses and cause inconvenience to the user.

[0004] Currently, some mobile terminals support lock screens, and users must perform predefined unlocking operations to unlock the locked screen in order to resume normal use of the mobile terminals.

[0005] Although such a method of preventing false alarms via a screen lock can reduce the risk of false alarms to some extent, it cannot achieve the goal of preventing false alarms after the mobile phone enters an active state from the standby state. For example, when receiving an incoming call or an alarm reminder, most mobile phones will automatically hide the locked screen and directly display the incoming call interface or the alarm reminder interface in order to facilitate the quick response of the user, in which case the lock screen mechanism cannot be used to prevent false triggering.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0028] Hereinafter, specific implementations of a method, apparatus, and device for preventing false alarms provided by embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] First, as shown in FIG. 1, the method for preventing false alarms provided by an embodiment of the present invention is used after the mobile terminal enters an active state from the standby state. The method includes the following steps.

[0030] In step S101, the first distance between the mobile terminal and the environment is observed in real time.

[0031] This step S101 may be, in particular:

[0032] real-time monitoring of the first distance between the touch screen of the mobile terminal and the nearest object in front of the touch screen.

[0033] In step S102, the touch screen of the mobile terminal stops and turns off when the first distance satisfies a predetermined distance condition.

[0034] The above-described shutdowns and shutdowns of the touch screen of a mobile terminal, in particular, include:

[0035] instructing the mobile terminal to enter a screen shutdown state previously determined by the mobile terminal operating system, and a message about the reason for entering the screen shutdown state of the mobile terminal operating system in order to help the mobile terminal operating system determine, based on the reason for entering screen shutdown state whether the control command issued by the user through a tool other than the touch screen is executable.

[0036] Further, when the first distance does not satisfy a predetermined distance condition, the method further includes:

[0037] turning on the touch screen of the mobile terminal.

[0038] After the touch screen of the mobile terminal is turned on, the method further includes:

[0039] resuming observation of the first distance from the nearest object to the touch screen of the mobile terminal, and when the first distance becomes satisfying the predetermined distance condition again, determining whether the time period has elapsed during which the first distance remains satisfying the predetermined distance condition is previously a predetermined first time period;

[0040] if the time period during which the first distance remains satisfying the predetermined distance condition does not reach the predefined first time period, termination of the real-time monitoring operation of the first distance between the mobile terminal and the environment; and

[0041] if the time period during which the first distance remains satisfying the predetermined distance condition reaches the predetermined first time period, the touch screen of the mobile terminal is stopped and the touch screen is turned off.

[0042] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the above-described predetermined distance condition includes the following:

[0043] the first distance is less than a predetermined second distance;

[0044] or

[0045] the first distance is less than or equal to the predetermined second distance.

[0046] By the above method for preventing false alarms provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the real-time monitoring operation of the first distance between the mobile terminal and the environment is allowed after the mobile terminal enters an active state from the standby state to determine whether whether the mobile terminal is removed (for example, put in a backpack or pocket) by the user. When the first distance satisfies the predetermined distance condition, it can be considered that the mobile terminal has been removed by the user, and then the touch screen of the mobile terminal is stopped and turned off so as to prevent false operation of the mobile terminal due to user activity, so that damage due to false operation can be avoided .

[0047] As shown in FIG. 2, another method for preventing false alarms is also provided by an embodiment of the present invention. A mobile terminal is, for example, a mobile phone, and this method can provide a mechanism for preventing false alarms to the user and can be integrated into the operating system, or installed in the mobile phone in the form of an APP (application, third-party application program); and when the user turns on the false alarm prevention mechanism, the following operations are performed after the user's mobile phone enters an active state from the standby state.

[0048] In step S201, the first distance from the nearest object to the touch screen of the mobile phone is observed in real time.

[0049] In this embodiment, the mobile phone is, for example, a mobile phone, however, in the present invention, the mobile terminal is not limited to a mobile phone and may also include a tablet computer, an MP4 player, and other touch screen devices.

[0050] In this embodiment, the active state of the mobile phone may be an incoming call, an alarm, a calendar reminder, or the like.

[0051] In particular, the first distance from the closest object to the touch screen of the mobile phone can be obtained by measuring the distance through an infrared distance sensor installed in the mobile phone, and the apparatus for preventing false triggering can call the corresponding infrared distance sensor interface provided by the operating system, to get the first distance.

[0052] It should be noted that since the infrared distance sensor is typically mounted on the same side as the touch screen of the mobile phone, the closest object to the touch screen of the mobile phone indicates an object in front of the touch screen of the mobile phone.

[0053] In step S202, it is determined whether the first distance satisfies a predetermined distance condition; if it satisfies, step S203 is performed, and if not, step S204 is performed.

[0054] In particular, in this embodiment, a predetermined distance condition includes the following:

[0055] the first distance is less than a predetermined second distance;

[0056] or

[0057] the first distance is less than or equal to the predetermined second distance.

[0058] The second distance may be set by the user or the developer and may be set, for example, to 5 centimeters.

[0059] It should be noted that the method provided by this embodiment is mainly used to prevent the mobile phone from touching and accidentally tripping after it enters an active state when the mobile phone has been removed (for example, put in backpack or pocket) by the user. Therefore, the method provided by this embodiment assumes that when the first distance satisfies a predetermined distance condition, it can be considered that the mobile phone has been removed by the user, and at this time the user should not issue a control command via the touch screen of the mobile phone; and when the first distance does not satisfy the predetermined distance condition, it can be considered that the mobile phone was taken out by the user from the backpack or pocket, and the user can issue a control command via the touch screen of the mobile phone.

[0060] In step S203, the mobile phone is instructed to enter the screen shutdown state previously determined by the mobile phone operating system, and the process returns to step S201.

[0061] It should be noted that the mobile phone operating system will configure the screen shutdown state for the mobile phone and determine hardware conditions and the response to the control command entered by the user in various ways after the mobile phone enters the screen shutdown state. A user or program may instruct the mobile phone to enter a screen stop state through an interface provided by the operating system. In general, entering a mobile phone into a screen shutdown state at least includes shutting down and turning off the touch screen.

[0062] Further, in an operating system screen stop state, reasons for entering the screen stop state can include many types. For each type of reason for entering the screen stop state, the working state of the mobile phone corresponding to the screen stop state may be different. For example, when a mobile phone enters a screen stop state due to a screen lock operation by a user, the touch screen of the mobile phone stops working and turns off (i.e., cannot receive a control command issued by the user via the touch screen), but the mobile phone can receive a working command issued by the user through a wired controller, and execute a working command.

[0063] Accordingly, when the mobile phone is instructed to enter the screen shutdown state previously determined by the mobile phone operating system, the method further includes:

[0064] a message of the reason for entering the screen shutdown state of the mobile phone operating system.

[0065] Still further, the operational state of the mobile telephone corresponding to each type of screen shutdown state previously determined by the operating system may be set in the operating system of the mobile telephone.

[0066] In step S204, the touch screen of the mobile phone is turned on and step S205 is performed.

[0067] In particular, the inclusion of a touch screen of a mobile phone includes:

[0068] highlighting and activating the touch screen of the mobile phone and enabling the mobile phone to receive and execute a control command issued by the user via the touch screen of the mobile phone.

[0069] In step S205, it is necessary to resume monitoring the first distance from the nearest object to the touch screen of the mobile phone; when the first distance becomes satisfying the predetermined distance condition again, it is determined whether the time period reaches which the first distance remains satisfying the predetermined distance condition of the predetermined first time period; if it does not reach a predetermined first time period, step S206 is performed; and if it reaches a predetermined first time period, the process returns to step S203.

[0070] The first time period may be predefined by the developer or user, and may be set, for example, to 1 second.

[0071] It should be noted that the operation of this step should prevent the case where the user's mobile phone undergoes a significant change in the position of the backpack while the user abruptly performs the actions and the mobile phone misunderstands this as if the user took the mobile phone out of the backpack .

[0072] In step S206, the false alarm prevention mechanism is exited.

[0073] In particular, the existing mechanism for preventing false alarms includes: terminating the operation of real-time monitoring of the first distance from the nearest object to the touch screen of a mobile phone.

[0074] In addition, the method may further include:

[0075] exiting the false alarm prevention mechanism after the mobile phone enters a standby state (for example, an idle timeout, termination of a telephone conversation by another subscriber, termination of an alert signal, etc.).

[0076] By the above method for preventing false alarms provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the real-time monitoring operation of the first distance from the closest object to the touch screen of the mobile phone is allowed after the mobile phone enters an active state from the standby state so that determine if the mobile phone has been removed (for example, put in a backpack or pocket) by the user. When the first distance satisfies the predefined distance condition, it can be considered that the mobile phone has been removed and put in place, so the user will not issue a touch command via the touch screen of the mobile phone, and then the touch screen of the mobile phone stops working and turns off so that to prevent false triggering of a mobile phone that has been removed and enters into an active state due to user activity, so that damage due to false triggering zhno avoided.

[0079] the shutdown module 302, configured to shut down the touch screen of the mobile terminal and turn off the touch screen when the first distance observed by the monitoring unit 301 satisfies a predetermined distance condition.

[0080] Further, the above-described monitoring module 301 is particularly configured to monitor in real time the first distance between the touch screen of the mobile terminal and the nearest object in front of the touch screen.
